1. Wildscapes chosen by National Trust for large-scale planting
project
The work is part of a large scale initiative to regenerate woodland habitats, which are also called
'cloughs' on the National Trust-owned land. It will produce a number of benefits including wildlife
conservation, water quality and flood prevention. All species and sites were agreed with the Forestry
Commission and other bodies to reflect the natural landscape and character of the area.
Tom Harman, project officer at the National Trust,
said: "The project is part of the 50 year High Peak
Moorland Vision. It is wildlife conservation on a
really large scale and has involved working closely
with a range of partners.
"Extensive research and planning has gone into
this project and it's great to see plans finally
coming into reality. We've worked closely with
Wildscapes for this year's planting and managed
to achieve a great deal.
"We chose Wildscapes because of the quality of service they offer but we are also pleased to be
supporting a company that re-invests its profits back into wildlife conservation through the Sheffield
and Rotherham Wildlife Trust."
Sheffield-based Wildscapes offers ecology services, training and a land team which offers a range of
landscape work including tree planting, tree felling and scrub clearance, footpath construction,
grounds maintenance, invasive species control, moorland conservation projects and fencing.

2. Team leader John Thompson said: "It's been very positive to work alongside the National Trust on a
project that fits into the Trust's 50 Year High Peak Moorland Vision and we hope to continue this
work in future years."
The project has been funded by the English Woodland Grant Scheme (EWGS) and the Clough
Woodland Project.
